“I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it.”
Grandma Moses (1860–1961) American artist
Grandma Moses : My Life's History (1951)
Context: I have written my life in small sketches, a little today, a little yesterday, as I have thought of it, as I remember all the things from childhood on through the years, good ones, and unpleasant ones, that is how they come out and that is how we have to take them.
I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it. I was happy and contented, I knew nothing better and made the best out of what life offered. And life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.
“A rising tide lifts all the boats”
John F. Kennedy (1917–1963) 35th president of the United States of America
Remarks in Heber Springs, Arkansas, at the Dedication of Greers Ferry Dam (3 October 1963) http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=9455<br>Variant: Rising tide lifts all boats.<br> Remarks in Pueblo, Colorado following Approval of the Frying Pan-Arkansas Project (336)" (17 August 1962) http://www.jfklibrary.org/Research/Research-Aids/Ready-Reference/JFK-Quotations.aspx<!-- Public Papers of the President: John F. Kennedy, 1962 --> <br class="br">1963 <br class="br">Context: As this State's income rises, so does the income of Michigan. As the income of Michigan rises, so does the income of the United States. A rising tide lifts all the boats and as Arkansas becomes more prosperous so does the United States and as this section declines so does the United States. So I regard this as an investment by the people of the United States in the United States.
